New HOTEL At KNOXVILLE.

New HOTEL At KNOXVILLE.
Our thriving nelghbor beyond the
border is actively aroused to one of its
necessities. 1t is without lch hotel as

Knoxville increases SO rapidly in popula-
ton that monthly census is needed to
keep up with her progress-shonld have.
The Hattie House did we'll for the
times; but the city requires something
larger, something better, something more
stylish. Therefore we are glad to learn
from the Tribune of the 29th that active
steps are being ia en- to supply the
desideratum.
We are glad to take the following from
the Tribune:
When the char,er is obtained subscrip,
lion books will be opened and the money
raised to build the hotel. One gentleman
in the city has already pledged $4,000
Others propose to donate lot worth
$4,000 and to take that amount in stock.
Still other gentlemen have signifed their
intention of subscribing. 1t is thought
that there is the sum of at least Sl50,000
in kignt, for The hotel. Gentlemen who
are not citizens of Knoxville have p.o.
posed to take like amount Of stock, OF
whatever amount Knoxville raises in the
hotel. This will secure 100000. 1t is
believed that S500,000 can be raised ifthe
company decide to build 50 costly a
house 1t is ais probable thatall the
stock can be raised in Knoxville if the
company so desires.

The Mars OJscryer of the 2Sth says:
An Ash vile gentleman said yester-
day that the real estate of Ashevi!le was
valued at $4,COOOO0. The Raleigh tax
list says that Raleigh real estate is worth
less than $40OO,G0O. Raleigh has 150 GEO
inhabitants and more than million dol
lars invested in business enter prises
Asheyillc has about 5000 inhabitants
and one-third as much capital invested as
Raleigh. Asheville could be bought for
81 100000, but Raleigh would sell easily
Tor s., ,O00,00O. There is nothing wrong
with the property. The tax list is some
what loose, that's all"
That paper has had the means of learn
sng what has been repeated often in our
columns that instead of tie popu alton
of Asheville being 5000, it is not less than
5000. The official census begun on the
1st of January last developed 1888, and
there has been steady increase since
then, and it is not less, probably con-
siderably more now than 5000 The
editor of the News Observer had full
opportunity to obtain accurate inform2-
ton when he was here in July. Again,
we are not so sure that Asheville could
be bought for 100000, though the Nelrs
and Observer is probably right about Raj
eigh. In making the last assessment
here, the valuation was fixed at upwards
of$5, 100000 which was accepted as fair to
property holders; and an increase over
that would have reused no remonstranoe.
When all the returns from all the town
ships were compared, it was deemed just
and also necessary to reduce the assess
ment for Asheville 25 per cent to equalize
the burden with that of other townships.
Asheville cannot be bought for

One Of Lovell's tri-weekly publications Of
the best current and standard literature.
Prettily presented In paper cover, with col

paper.
Now let us remark that, Notwithstanding
the name Of Henri, - the author of "Frank
ley" is woman, and French, though the
present book gives no intlmatlon Of her ma
tionality. The woman will out. Positively
American, and great wonder about the
story lie that the writer's late brief visit to
our country should enable her TO describe
ourselves and homes go correctly and 80
admirably. Great genius is proved by the
exhibition Of this single power.
The chief scenes OF the novel occur In

cluslon Is In our city OF the capitol. WASH

clean as a drawing room floor" these two
latter points perhaps due to the double an
nual floods.
But passing over the slight mistakes OF
this character, which are confined to the
final chapter, and dismissing them With
smile, the merits Of the volume are extra
ordinary. A compelling interest is sus-
tained through oil its pages, ever by simple
and natural means, and ever in strict ac
cordance with American peculiarities.
Four personages bear the main part OF
the story; two men, two women. OF the
men, "Frankleynis is an architect, "Mayn an
artist; OF the women, "Katie Motter" q
rich belle, "Ella Bright a professors
daughter and china decorator. The cou-
trast between these is striking and true.
We turn with continually increasing curl
osity and attraction from one to the other.
Much OF the charm Of the book lies In
the beautiful language Of the translator,
Mrs. de Montaigu, who Ia also talented
journalist. She is the widow OF French
nobleman, and by right the Countess dc
Montaigu and Marquise de Beville. An
other volume Of hers, from the French,
will soon be issued. Being an accomplished
French scholar she is quite at heme In her
role as translator. Her residence is "a
